FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the long-time use count counter 17d shown in FIG. The long-time use counter 17d includes a long-time use number for each holder storage unit number counted based on the key lending history data 17b.

The control unit 18 is a control unit that controls the entire key management device 10, and is a key management master processing unit 18a, a lending processing unit 18b, a holder designation operation reception unit 18c, a key attribute output unit 18d, and a long-time use management unit 18e. Has. Actually, the programs corresponding to the key management master processing unit 18a, the lending processing unit 18b, the holder designation operation receiving unit 18c, the key attribute output unit 18d, and the long-term use management unit 18e are stored in a non-volatile memory, a magnetic disk device, or the like. By storing these programs in the device, loading them into the memory, and executing them in the CPU (Central Processing Unit), the corresponding processes are executed.

The key management master processing unit 18a updates the key management master 17a by storing the key management master received from the management server 20 in the storage unit 17, and performs a process of notifying the management server 20 of the completion of the update.

The lending processing unit 18b is a processing unit that performs processing related to key lending and returning. Specifically, the lending processing unit 18b performs authentication processing of the card ID when the card reader 12 reads the card ID of the card possessed by the operator. As a result of this authentication, if the operator is set to take out the key, the lending processing unit 18b controls the unlocking of the door locking mechanism 10c. Then, the holder lamp 131 on the upper part of the rentable holder 14 is turned on in blue. If the time during which the holder 14 is pulled out from the holder storage portion 13 is within a predetermined time, the holder lamp 131 remains lit in blue, but if the time exceeds the predetermined time, the holder lamp 131 turns orange. Or it lights up in red. For example, if the holder lamp 131 is used once for a long time, the holder lamp 131 is lit in orange, and if the holder lamp 131 is used twice or more, the holder lamp 131 is lit in red. For example, do not turn on orange and red. While the door 10a is closed, the holder lamp 131 is turned off, and the holder lamp 131 is lit in blue, red, or orange on condition that the door 10a is open. Even if the holder 14 is returned to the holder storage unit 13, the state of the holder lamp 131 does not change.

Further, the lending processing unit 18b locks the holder storage unit 13 when the holder 14 is returned to the holder storage unit 13 after the card ID is authenticated. Further, the lending processing unit 18b reads the date and time at that time from the clock unit 19 and sets it as the return date and time, and registers the card ID and the identification information of the holder storage unit 13 in the key lending history data 17b in association with the return date and time.

The holder storage unit 13 is provided with a sensor for detecting the presence or absence of the holder 14 and a sensor for detecting the pushing of the holder 14. Then, when the state in which the holder 14 is not stored changes to the state in which the holder 14 is stored, it is determined that the holder 14 has been returned regardless of whether or not the holder 14 has been pushed in.

In addition, the lending processing unit 18b manages the lending time of the key. Specifically, the holder storage unit 13 has an upper limit of the lending time, and outputs an alarm when the lending time from the lending date and time to the return date and time exceeds the upper limit. Then, the lending date and time, the executor card ID, the identification information of the holder storage unit 13 and the like are associated with each other and registered in the long-time use history data 17c, and when the long-time use is performed, the long-time use counter 17d is counted up. To do.

The holder designation operation receiving unit 18c is a processing unit that accepts an operation for designating the holder 14 to be displayed as an attribute. Specifically, if the holder 14 is pushed in while the holder 14 is stored before the door locking mechanism 10c is unlocked, the operation is an operation of designating the holder 14 whose attributes are to be displayed. Accept as.

Further, when the operator inputs the identification information for specifying the holder 14 to the display operation unit 11, the operation is accepted as an operation for designating the holder 14 to be displayed with the attribute.

In addition, it is also possible to receive notification of the holder 14 whose attributes are to be displayed in advance from another device. For example, when the money deposit / withdrawal machine 40 is made to read the card ID and the operation of reserving the use of the key is performed, the money deposit / withdrawal machine 40 receives the notification of the holder 14 whose attributes are to be displayed via the management server 20. It may be. Which holder 14 holds the key of the money deposit / withdrawal machine 40 may be determined by the management server 20 or may be determined by the money deposit / withdrawal machine 40. When the money deposit / withdrawal machine 40 specifies the holder 14, the key management master is distributed from the management server 20 to the money deposit / withdrawal machine 40 in advance.

Further, the input for the purpose of long-term use is accepted via the display operation unit 11. This is because it is desirable for the operator or the manager to understand the reason why the holder lamp 131 is used for a long time when the holder lamp 131 is lit in orange or red. However, here, when the holder 14 is used for a long time, the holder lamp 131 lights up regardless of whether or not the purpose of use for a long time is input, and the standby screen of the display operation unit 11 shows "long". "Time used" shall be displayed.

When the holder 14 is designated by the operation received by the holder designation operation receiving unit 18c, the key attribute output unit 18d reads the attribute of the designated holder 14 from the key management master 17a and displays it on the display operation unit 11. It is a processing unit.

The long-time use management unit 18e is a processing unit that manages the history of long-term use exceeding the upper limit of the lending time. When the upper limit of the rental time is exceeded, the holder lamp 131 on the upper part of the holder storage unit 13 corresponding to the corresponding holder 14 is turned on. For example, when it is used once for a long period of time in a predetermined period, it lights up in orange, when it is used twice or more, it lights up in orange, and when it is used 0 times, it turns off.

Further, when the holder 14 is returned to the holder storage unit 13 after the long-term use management unit 18e exceeds the upper limit of the lending time, the long-time use management unit 18e requests input of the reason, and is associated with the long-term use history. Register in the time usage history data 17c. This is so that the reason why the holder 14 has been used for a long time can be confirmed. When the reason for long-term use is input, approval by an operator having a predetermined administrator authority can be requested. Further, the reason for long-term use can be input by an operator having a predetermined administrator authority. The reason for long-term use can be selected from a predetermined list and input.

In addition, the long-term use management unit 18e can also give a notice notice before a predetermined time exceeding the upper limit of the lending time elapses. It is desirable that such a notice notification be different from the warning when the upper limit of the lending time is exceeded by making it a voice notification. It is also possible not to leave a history of advance notice. This is because if the operator who notices the notice notice returns the holder 14, it will be used normally and it will be possible to prevent the occurrence of long-term use.

The long-time use management unit 18e can print the long-time use history data 17c by the printer 15. When performing such printing, it is desirable to include the reason for long-term use included in the long-term use history data 17c in the print target. Further, by transmitting the long-time use history data 17c to another device by the communication unit 16, the other device can display or print the long-time use history data 17c.

Next, an example of display by the holder lamp 131 shown in FIG. 1 during long-term use will be described. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of display by the holder lamp 131 shown in FIG. 1 during long-term use. As shown in the figure, a holder lamp 131 is provided on the upper portion of each holder storage portion 13 for detachably storing the holder 14. When the holder 14 is pulled out from the holder storage portion 13, the holder lamp 131 is turned off, but when a predetermined time elapses while the holder 14 is pulled out, the holder lamp 131 lights up in orange. Then, when the orange lighting state is used for a longer period of time, the lighting changes to red. The orange lighting indicates that it has been used for a long time once in a predetermined period, and the red lighting indicates that it has been used for a long time twice or more within a predetermined period.

Next, an example of display by the display operation unit 11 shown in FIG. 1 during long-term use will be described. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of display by the display operation unit 11 shown in FIG. 1 during long-term use.

On the standby screen shown in FIG. 9A, a message such as "Please read the card" is displayed. By displaying a message such as "Long-term use" on this standby screen, a message such as "Please read the card" is displayed. Notifies that any holder 14, that is, the key, has been used for a long time. In this state, the operator's card ID is read by the card reader 12, and after the card ID is authenticated, the door 10a is unlocked.

Here, when the operator touches the message unit of "long-term use" of the display operation unit 11, the long-time use confirmation screen shown in FIG. 9B is displayed on the display operation unit 11. Here, the holder number and the usage time that have been used for a long time are displayed.

When the operator touches the "ID order" button on this long-term use confirmation screen, the holder number and usage time in which long-term use has occurred are displayed in the order of card ID, as shown in FIG. 9 (c). .. When the operator touches the "holder order" button on the long-time use confirmation screen shown in FIG. 9 (c), the long-time use confirmation screen shown in FIG. 9 (b) is displayed. When the operator touches the "Back" button on the long-time use confirmation screen shown in FIG. 9B or FIG. 9C, the screen shifts to the standby screen shown in FIG. 9A. When the operator touches the "print" button, the printer 15 prints the contents of the display screen on a receipt.

Next, an example when the "mode" button is touched on the standby screen shown in FIG. 9 will be described. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example when the “mode” button is touched on the standby screen shown in FIG. 9.

FIG. 12 is a functional block diagram showing the internal configuration of the management server 20 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 12, the management server 20 includes a display unit 21, an input unit 22, a communication unit 23, a storage unit 24, and a control unit 25.

The display unit 21 is a display device such as a liquid crystal display device. The input unit 22 is an input device such as a keyboard and a mouse. The communication unit 23 is a communication interface for communicating with the key management device 10, the administrator terminal 30, the money deposit / withdrawal machine 40, the important property management device 50, and the like. The storage unit 24 is a storage device such as a hard disk device or a non-volatile memory, and stores the key management master 24a.

The control unit 25 is a control unit that controls the entire management server 20, and includes a key management master generation unit 25a, a key management master update unit 25b, and an update completion processing unit 25c. Actually, the programs corresponding to these functional units are stored in a ROM or non-volatile memory (not shown), and these programs are loaded into the CPU (Central Processing Unit) and executed to execute the key management master generation unit. The processes corresponding to 25a, the key management master update unit 25b, and the update completion processing unit 25c are executed.

The key management master generation unit 25a generates a key management master 24a based on a key management master registration request from the administrator terminal 30, stores the generated key management master 24a in the storage unit 24, and stores the key management master 24a. It is distributed to the key management device 10 and the like.

The update completion processing unit 25c manages the key when the key management master generation unit 25a or the key management master update unit 25b distributes the key management master 24a and then receives an update completion notification from the distribution destination key management device 10 or the like. A process of notifying the administrator terminal 30 of the completion of distribution of the master is performed.

<Processing of key management device>
Next, the processing procedure of the key management device 10 shown in FIG. 3 will be described. FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the key management device 10 shown in FIG. Here, it is assumed that the key management master 17a is stored in advance in the storage unit 17 of the key management device 10.

As shown in FIG. 13, first, the lending processing unit 18b of the key management device 10 determines whether or not the card reader 12 has read the card ID (step S101), and if the card ID has not been read (step S102; No), the process ends as it is. On the other hand, if the card reader 12 reads the card ID (step S102; Yes), the lending processing unit 18b performs the card ID authentication process (step S103). In this authentication process, the authentication is successful when the card ID is registered in the key management master 17a and the use authority is "Yes" for any of the holder storage unit numbers. If the authentication is not successful (step S104; No), the key management device 10 ends the process as it is.

On the other hand, if the authentication is successful (step S104; Yes), the lending processing unit 18b refers to the key management master 17a and the long-time use counter 17d to turn on the holder lamp 131 and display the holder lamp 131. The display is displayed (step S105), the door locking mechanism 10c is unlocked and controlled (step S106), and the key desorption process is performed (step S107). The key desorption process will be described later. After the key desorption process, the lending process unit 18b determines whether or not the door 10a is closed (step S108). If the door 10a is not closed (step S108; No), the process proceeds to step S107. Then, when the door 10a is closed (step S108; Yes), the lending processing unit 18b locks and controls the door locking mechanism 10c (step S109), and turns off the display of the holder lamp 131 and the display operation unit 11. (Step S110), the process ends.

Next, the processing procedure of the key desorption processing shown in FIG. 13 will be described. FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the key desorption process shown in FIG. The holder designation operation reception unit 18c determines whether or not the operation for designating the holder 14 to be displayed of the key attribute has been accepted (step S201). As a result, when the operation of designating the holder 14 to be displayed of the key attribute is accepted (step S201; Yes), the key attribute output unit 18d transfers the key attribute of the designated holder 14 from the key management master 17a. Read and display on the display operation unit 11 (step S202). If the operation of designating the holder 14 to be displayed of the key attribute is not accepted (step S201; No), the process proceeds to step S203 as it is.

After that, the lending processing unit 18b determines whether or not the key use operation has been accepted (step S203), and if the key use operation is accepted (step S203; Yes), corresponds to the holder 14 designated by the key use operation. It is determined whether or not the usage authority "Yes" is set for the holder storage unit 13 to be used (step S204).

As a result, when the use authority "Yes" is set for the holder storage unit 13 (step S204; Yes), the lending processing unit 18b unlocks the designated holder 14 (step S205).

After that, when the removal of the holder 14 is detected, the lending processing unit 18b sets the date and time at that time as the lending date and time, and associates the card ID with the identification information of the holder storage unit 13 with the lending date and time to obtain the key lending history data 17b. Update (step S206). If a predetermined time has elapsed without removing the holder 14 after unlocking the holder 14, the holder 14 is locked and the key lending history data 17b is not updated.

In step S203 described above, if the key use operation is not accepted (step S202; No), or if the use authority is set to "None" (step S204; No), the lending processing unit 18b is a holder. It is determined whether or not the return of 14 is detected (step S207).

Then, if the return of the holder 14 is detected (step S207; Yes), the lending processing unit 18b locks the holder storage unit 13 (step S208). After that, the date and time at that time is set as the return date and time, and the key lending history data 17b is updated by associating the card ID with the identification information of the holder storage unit 13 (step S209) to end the process. If the return of the holder 14 is not detected (step S207; No), the lending processing unit 18b ends the key desorption process as it is.

For convenience of explanation, the description of inputting the reason for long-term use when the operator uses the key for a long time beyond the scheduled time is omitted here, but the operator presses the key for a long time beyond the predetermined time. When used for a long time, the reason for long-term use can be input by performing a predetermined operation.

Next, the lighting control procedure of the holder lamp 131 will be described. FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing a lighting control procedure of the holder lamp 131. The lighting control procedure of the holder lamp 131 will be executed periodically.

As shown in FIG. 15, first, the following processing is performed on the predetermined holder storage unit number. Specifically, the key lending history data 17b is referred to to acquire the holder usage time (step S301), and the key management master 17a is referred to to obtain the holder lending time upper limit (step S302). Then, it is determined whether or not the usage time exceeds the rental time upper limit (step S303), and if the usage time does not exceed the rental time upper limit (step S303; No), the long-term use flag is set to "0". Is set (step S304), and the process proceeds to step S308.

On the other hand, if the usage time exceeds the lending time upper limit (step S303; Yes), the long-term use flag is set to "1" (step S305), and the previous usage time exceeds the lending time upper limit. It is determined whether or not the loan date and time are the same as in the case of the above (step S306). As a result, when the previous use time exceeds the lending time upper limit and the lending date and time are not the same (step S306; No), the long-time use count counter 17d is incremented (step S307).

Then, when the long-time use counter 17d is 2 or more (step S308; Yes), the holder lamp 131 is lit in red (step S309), and when the long-time use counter 17d is 1, (step S308; Yes). S308; No, step S310; Yes), the holder lamp 131 is lit in orange (step S311), and when the long-time use counter 17d is 0 (step S308; No, step S310; No), the holder lamp The red and orange colors of 131 are turned off (step S312).

After that, if there is an unprocessed holder storage unit number (step S313; Yes), the process proceeds to step S310 and the same processing is repeated, and if the processing for all the holder storage unit numbers is completed (step). S313; No), the process is terminated.

Although the lighting control of the holder lamp 131 has been described here for convenience of explanation, when displaying on the display operation unit 11, it is used for a long time with reference to the long-time use history data 17c and the long-time use count counter 17d. Can be displayed.

In this way, since the number of times of long-term use is determined by the lighting color of the holder lamp 131, it is possible to easily check the number of times of long-term use simply by opening the door 10a of the key management device. Further, by changing the lighting pattern in addition to the color, it is possible to facilitate visual confirmation.

In addition, when the holder 14 is borrowed and the key is used for a long time, which operator can use the key for a long time by inputting the reason for the long-time use. You can easily check if you have it for a long time. When displaying the long-term use history data 17c, it is possible to distinguish whether or not there is a reason for long-term use. Further, when the button is operated, a button that has no reason for long-term use may be displayed. Further, by outputting the display of the long-time use history data 17c collectively for each executor card ID, it is possible to grasp the usage tendency of the human key.

As described above, according to this embodiment, it is possible to quickly confirm which key has been used for a long time. According to this embodiment, since the notification is performed at a place that is easily visible such as the holder lamp 131 of the key management device 10 and the alert display on the standby screen, the existence of a long-term use history can be easily confirmed. Further, in the scrutiny print printed on the receipt shown in FIG. 11, a mark (“?” In the embodiment) indicating long-term use can be consciously searched for at the time of checking. Further, since the holder lamp 131 can easily confirm whether or not the holder 14 has been used for a long time at an arbitrary timing during the daytime or before the detailed inspection printing, it is possible to prevent omission when checking the printing result.

In this embodiment, the case where the holder 14 to which the key is connected by the ring is stored in the holder storage unit 13 is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the key itself is stored in the storage unit. It can also be applied in some cases.

Further, in the present embodiment, the holder lamp 131 is turned on regardless of whether or not the purpose of long-term use is input, but the present invention is not limited to this and is used for a long time in advance. It is also possible to control so that the holder lamp 131 is not turned on when the purpose is input. This makes it possible to exclude cases where there is a valid reason.

Further, in the above series of explanations, the case where the key management device 10 determines whether or not the key management device 10 is used for a long time and controls the lighting of the holder lamp 131 has been shown, but the present invention is not limited to this and is managed. The server 20 can also be configured to determine whether or not it has been used for a long time and instruct the key management device 10 to turn on the holder lamp 131.

In addition, each configuration shown in the above embodiment is a schematic function, and does not necessarily have to be physically shown. That is, the form of distribution / integration of each device is not limited to the one shown in the figure, and all or part of the device is functionally or physically distributed / integrated in an arbitrary unit according to various loads and usage conditions.
